Guidelines)
POSTER PRESENTATIONS
The following information may assist you in preparing an informative
and professional poster display:
· Print TITLE and authors in extra
large characters (over 1.25 in. high) across the top of your
display.
· Display your material in large print so it may be read
from a distance. It is important to use text and graphics larger
and bolder than those of your manuscript! Be clear and succinct.
· Each board will be approximately 8' wide x 4' high.
Usable space is 91" x 45." Boards will accept pushpins
or Velcro. A (finite) supply of pushpins will be available.
· Each presentation will be assigned a board and will
be labeled with the number of the paper (e.g., M5.18) and the
presenting author's name. A small table will be under each board.
· Refreshments will be provided during evening sessions.

BEST POSTER PRESENTATIONS TO BE RECOGNIZED
AT THE 2002 MRS FALL MEETING
Poster sessions are an important and integral
part of MRS meetings, allowing many more authors the opportunity
to share their research and ideas with others. Because the quality
of poster sessions is a major priority of the Society, 2002 Fall
Meeting Chairs will recognize the best presentations at the four
evening poster sessions to be held in the Hynes Convention Center,
December 2-5.
A prize of up to $500 will be awarded by the
Chairs to the presenting author(s) of the winning paper(s). One
or more awards will be made each evening. The Meeting Chairs
will select the winners on the basis of the poster's technical
content, appearance and graphic excellence (not necessarily equally
weighted). Winning posters will be displayed prominently for
the remainder of the meeting. Please plan to post your paper
between 12:00 noon and 5:00 p.m. Judging for the Meeting Chairs'
Best Poster Awards will occur between 5:00 and 8:00 p.m. and
general viewing by meeting attendees will occur between 8:00
p.m. and 11:00 p.m.
